Building consent for container homes made easy

At Taylor Made Container Homes we take pride in the fact that every container unit either meets or exceeds code of compliance specifications. That means you only need consent for the foundations at your chosen location. We can also help you with foundations and elevations if required. Based from Cromwell, we have delivered shipping container homes across the country and bring a wealth of knowledge when it comes to dealing with councils and ensuring everything is approved, so you don't need to worry.

Do I need building consent or resource consent for my container home?

Good question. Those people who have investigated tiny homes will know that anything on wheels is considered a temporary dwelling and outside of consent. But when it comes to container homes, it’s not such a simple answer. It can depend on where you plan on placing your container home and the local legislation. It can also depend on what you are going to be using the container building for. Once you include a sewerage system with your container building, it is deemed a dwelling and therefore will need consent. If you’re unsure, it’s best to give us a call and we can help you through the process.
